Fluorine reacts with ice and r esults in the change : H_(2)O(s)+F_(2)(

1.	Fluorine reacts with ice and r esults in the change : H_(2)O(s)+F_(2)(g)rarrHF(g)+HoF(g) justify that this reaction is a redox reaction
Answer» Solution :Writing the O.N of reach atom aboe its SYMBOL we have `H_(2)+F_(2)(g)rarrHF (g)+HOF` here the O.N of F decreases form 0 in `F_(2)` to -1 in HF and increases form 0 in `F_(2)` to +1 in HOF therefore `F_(2)` is both reduced as well as oxidised thus it isredox and more specifically it is a DISPROPORTIONATION reaction
